First of all, sorry about the pics but it is a little cloudy today so no natural light! I picked up some little cardboard boxes at the Dollar Store the other day. One is slightly smaller than the other so they reminded me of the stacking boxes I've seen in catalogs lately. So for $2.
oo and a little paper and paint, I made this cute little set.
First I painted the boxes white and the lids black. Two coats was
plenty cuz I knew I would be
distressing them. Then I mod
podged the pumpkins and cat faces on all four sides.

Then I inked the edges in brown and black. After that dried I splattered orange and black paint on all the sides, including the lids, with an old tooth brush. A nice coat of sealer, let dry overnight and it is finished....at a cost that is hard to resists. I've seen these for over $25.00 ! Love a deal! Diana
